Last week I wrote an entry over on java.net on how to install NetBeans 6.1. The first step in that entry was an overcomplicated series of steps to install the JDK. I swear I first looked in the Package Manager, and was surprised to not find the JDK, but I must have just searched on "Java". Sure enough, as Gregg points out in Getting Java, searching on "JDK" does show all of the packages needed.

Update: NetBeans 6.1 is now in the IPS repository. Here are the new installation instructions.

Dear Brian,

about this article, congratulations, but now the package NetBeans is already in repository IPS?

Hi Luciano,

Yes, NetBeans 6.1 is now in the IPS repository. I've updated the blog with a link to a more recent entry.
